Am I the only one that regularly absolutely dominates early rounds (say, until last 5 tables) of tourneys?
I'm bringing out all the tricks:
Shoving ai on flop with middle pair and just decent kicker and getting a call with nothing and taking it down.
Flatting middle pair with backdoor outs (including the flush) on a min flop bet. Raising good size bet on turn when flush draw comes and then snap calling all in on the river when flush comes through. (Fish had k3 with 3 being the bottom pair and K was irrelevant)
Flatting both initial min open on flop in worst position (SB) with 68 and then flatting bet on flop when 557 comes. Turn I believe is a King and brings the 6c flush draws so I peel another off. When the river comes I shove all in, which is really really stupid of a move. I'm giving him like what feels like 10:1 on a call, but it is for his tournament life. The river was a King. So I could have plenty here that beats him. If HE missed a draw, even A2 knocks him out. I think it is fairly obvious that I'm not shoving for value or to get a call, but maybe it got him to overthink because he eventually mucked. While my 8 did technically play on the board, I seriously doubt I was best. Happy to virtually rake in the virtual chips.
TO BE CLEAR: I don't think these are examples of me being good as much as it is my opponents being bad. After folding all but one hand posting this I've fallen to 3rd place, but I'm not overally concerned.
